Anglo Saxon, laden for abe greater

bearings, and while ut full speed was
lifted upon q montser billow and laid
across sunken rock that barred tho
mouth OF Chance Cove. One wild shrek
arose and tho light keeper heard 10
through the wailing OF the wind and the
thunder OF the sea. Crew and passengers
amounting in all to many score, were
thrown into deep holo inside the rock,
where the greater number persisted. The

Tho Queen As Seen by an AmerIcan.E
saw the queen in Edinburgh. She Is
fat stout old woman, with rosy face
and dark gray hair. Her features arc moro
German than English, and they look
very inOffensive and unchAracteristic.
She is probably woman OF great intel
lectual strength and of queenly thought,
but, as to appearance, you may see bot
ter faces at any reception in America or
In any days shopping. She was OH her
way to the Edinburgh exposition, and
the streets OF Edinburgh were cleared OF
carriages and street cars during her
march. Tho enthusiasm OF the people
was not great, and the cheer as she
passed along was not equal to that OF an
AMERICAN procession in which the presi-
dent takes part. Queen Victoria with two
of her daughters sat I'm double seated
carriage hauled by four horses, and a
half dozen lords and dukes rode in front
of and behind her. As the carriage
passed along, the three women, the one
old and the others middle aged and
younger, kept continuously bobbing their
heads In bowling a response to the cheers
of the crowd. The whole scene was
ridiculous one.
day or two later saw Queen Vic
toria again. AT this time she had been
driving about the city seeing ita sights.
There were crowds gathered on tho
streets to see her pass by, and, as before,
when her carriage came, the police and
soldiers cleared the way for it, First the
police came, then = carriage with one OF
the queens retinue and policeman, then
the outriders I'm gorgeous uniforms, and
lastly the queen In her carriage with the
Princess Beatrice and her husband. Dur
Ing part OF tho ride there were no police

There are some people who would
prumble to be hung. In fact, it is more
than probable, that many men would
give up the ghost in utter despair were it
not for tie sake Of their daily srowl.
1t is positive enjoyment 10 such people
to have a good growl; they take intense
delight in pursuading themselves, and
those by whom they are surrounded,
that they are martyrs Oh small scale.
They DO not act thus always with the
mere intention Of invoking pity ia their
behalf; perhaps, il the truth were to be
made known, they are intensely angry
with the being who has the sudscity to
pity them. They are actuatsd by a
somewhat vague feeling Of discomfort.
They feel that, somehow or other, things
are not exactly as they ought to be
They may have plenty to eat aud drink;
they may have good clothes on their
backs and sufficient money to provide
them with ALI healthful Injuries; they
may have friends who love them, and
comfortable homes, and yet will they
feel dissatisfied. aud seize an opportunity
Of making their dissatisfaction felt. They
may be gccd.heartei people in the main;
they msy give money to feed the hungry
and ciothe the naked; their eyes may
water with compassion at the sight Of
suffering; and yet. unaccountahle as II
may appear. they will take positive
pleasure in making those with whom
their daily lives are spent temporarily
unhappy. Human nature is made up o.
such pslpable contradictions-there is &c
much instructive bad mixed up with 81
much instructive good in every one o
us--tbat there is no reason to DO sur
prised at this. Such being the consttu
ton Of many mems minds, it will readily
be conceived that even when people ar
exceptionally prosperous they make
a point Of positively glosting over trivia
trials, making out, indeed, that the
have as large a share Of the bitters 0
life as any Of their fellows. Indeed, w
may go step further, and say that thos
who have the most trials talk the leas
about them. Those whose lives are on
continual grind, who have to struggl
hard to keep the wolf from the door
have, in fact, little time for grumblinl
They have generally to be content wit
things as they are.

Last nights Salt Lake and Los Angeles
railroad meeting was short and sweet.
The scheme to start the road BY Salt
Lake capital fell through and an entirely
new and perhaps better turn Of affairs
were taken. There were present sub
seribers representing SOL, 900 worth Of
stock when the roll was called, SO their
vote on this matter made it biding.

appointed BY the chair at the last meet
irg to fedrait articles Of incorporation,
reported there were parties here Ifrom
California desirous Of organizing and in
cooperating for the purpose of building
railroad over Che same grourd as pro-
posed in the recent meeting. and they

Mccormick had been talking with many
Of the present subscribers, who were
quite willing the matter should take that
shape. As soon as incorporated. the
new company will open its books SO that
all who wish may aubscribe as they like.
The speaker moved that the temporary
treasurer be instructed to return to the
several Subscribers their checks deposited
with him.
